RESOLVED: That (a) the applications now submitted for permission to develop land under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Regulations made thereunder and for consent under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 1989, be decided as shown in the minutes of this meeting, and the requisite notices issued; the granting of any permission or consent shall not constitute approval, permission or consent by this Committee or the Council for any other purpose;

(b) (i) an application for advertisement consent for a 1 no. illuminated fascia sign at Sahib Restaurant, 138 West Street (Case No. 15/01746/ADV) be refused as the Committee considered that given the scale, design and siting of the fascia sign it was entirely out of character with the existing building and the wider locality, with particular note made to the adjacent City Centre Conservation Area from which it is clearly viewed, and that the sign was therefore considered to be contrary to Paragraph 67 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policy BE13 (Advertisements) and Policy BE16 (Development in Conservation Areas) within the adopted Sheffield Unitary Development Plan; and

(ii) the Director of Development Services or Head of Planning be authorised to take all necessary steps, including enforcement action and the institution of legal proceedings, if necessary, to secure the removal of the sign;

(b) whilst the Committee understood that the expenditure of Community Infrastructure Levy monies was not  for the Committee to decide, they requested that it be noted that the Committee would wish to see the neighbourhood portion of the monies from the Community Infrastructure Levy collected as a result of this development to be spent on the provision of toilet and changing facilities on the neighbouring sports pitches site;

(d) following consideration of additional representations from the applicant and an officer response, as contained in a supplementary report circulated at the meeting, and representations at the meeting from the applicant against the officer recommendation to refuse, an application for planning permission for demolition of car showroom and associated buildings and erection of mixed use development comprising four blocks ranging from 6-12 storeys in height to provide 2027m2 of retail space, 130 residential apartments, 44 student cluster flats (209 beds) with subterranean car parking accommodation, associated landscaping works, external bin store, cycle parking and electricity substation at 245 Ecclesall Road (Case No. 15/00180/FUL) be refused for the reasons set out in the report; and
